a! famous Composers-Tbs Efforts of
" the Committee Greatly Appreciated by
the Audience.

. The audience in the South Norwallr
,, Congregational church, last night, on
' the occasion of the Chautauqua Union

-' concert. was not as large as should have

“ assembled tolistcn tosuch a higbvclass

,. entertainment. Nearly all of the Union’s
members and many music loving people
of the town to the number of about two
hundred were present, however, and
duly appreciated the exceptionally fine
programme arranged by the committee
and presented by such well-known par-
ticipants. The artists were Miss Edna
Woodrufl, teacher of violin at Weileslsy
college; Master Robbie Weber, of Bridge-
port, soprano. and Prof. A. S. Gibson,
organist and director.

Miss Woodrulf performed first the dif-
ficult “Concerto Romanlique” of Godard.
The dignity of the allegro, the majes-
tic beauty of the adagio, and the delicate
piquancy of the cans onstta in this noble
work, were matters of delight as render-
ed by this gifted artist. The attractive
appearance and grace of manner as well
as the finished technique and artistic
spirit of the performer won the hearty
appreciation of the audience. Miss
Woodrufi was also heard in a “Romansa,”

‘ dedicated to her by C. N. Allen, the com-
4 poser, and responded to the encore with
a “Bereause,” by the same composer.

Robbie Weber won all hearts, not only
by the purity and clearness of tone, but
also by his modest demeanor and capti-
vating manner. He gave for his first
appearance, “Springtlde,"~by Reinhold
Becker, in a manner that showed not
only careful training, but also artistic
ability remarkable for his years. reaching
the high notes with ease and sustaining
them brilliantly. The encore was
Brahme' "Lullaby," given with an evi-
dentappreciation of its quaint beauty.
Master Weber sang also the diflicult
Ave Marie from Cavalliria Rmticana,
sustaining the tones and phrasing like an
artist.

The organ selections by Prof. Gibson
were up to the high standard set by this
well-known artist, who is recognized as
one of the best organism in the state.
The “Annie Laurie" variations, by Dud-
ley Buck, dedicated to Mr. Gibson, and
the overture to “Lin-line," by Vincent
Wallace, were perhaps the most enjoyed
by the audience. Prof. Gibson also ac-
companied the soloists and his work in
this direction was one of the successes of
this delightful entertainment.

The Chautauqua society aim to give
occasionally concerts of this high stand-
ard at a reasonable price and deserve the
encouragement of the community. (lend
music is becoming more and more an
important factor in our civilization, and
any effort to elevate musical taste should
be Welcomed by all lovers of arc und (-ul-
tors.

The committee for the convert were
Miss Emma B. Smith, (i. ll. Vusburgh,
Jr., and W. J. Leland.
